Brunelle P. 1999. Distribution of damselflies and dragonflies (Odonata) of Maine, United States. Northeastern Naturalist. 6(2):95-118
From the abstract: "This paper provides details of the distribution and study of Odonata in the state of Maine, based on a comprehensive review of literature; public collections, private holdings, and the results of recent surveys. It is the first summary of the subject in over fifty years, and its data provide the baseline for the planned 5-year volunteer field survey of odonates in Maine. As a result of the review 11 species are added to the state list: the damselfly Enallagma recurvatum, and the dragonflies Aeshna mutata, Nasiaeshna pentacantha, Arigomphus furcifer, Gomphus descriptus, G. quadricolor, G. vastus, Stylurus amnicola, S. notatus, Neurocordulia sp. nov. and Perithemis tenera, bringing that list up to 155 species. Distribution to township level and flight periods for all species, and geographical and seasonal distribution of past survey effort in the state are reviewed. Illustrations and notes on 26 currently state-listed' species are appended."
